Hannah Roberts is always a bridesmaid and never a bride, until the day she wins an all-expenses-paid Hawaiian honeymoon. The free trip convinces her reluctant fiancé to take the plunge, but he abandons her during a layover, and Hannah arrives on Maui single and alone.

Strangely relieved by this turn of events, she tries unsuccessfully to break the news to the contest organizers, who expect to feature the happy newlyweds in a story and full color photos in the next issue of their magazine.

In the meantime, Hannah encounters astronomer Jeremy Gordon one romantic island evening and love blossoms in the balmy paradise. When Jeremy discovers Hannah is staying in the honeymoon suite, he assumes she's married and his universe is turned upside down. Hannah seems destined to be alone, but perhaps her happiness with Jeremy written in the stars.
